Catching Up and Kim's Big News
Interesting Times?
Are you living in interesting times? A lot of people have been telling me stories of challenges and missed opportunities that looked like sure things. I’ve been having such times, too. My car broke down on the cross-country trip, a major breakdown, my Swedish host became very ill and we’ve had to revisit my European travel itinerary, I had the flu, a very bad case that seemed to never end, and a few other unexpected challenges have arisen lately.
May you live in only the best of interesting times.
Missive from Book-Writing Land: Attention SF Bay Folks
http://www.thepathofforgiveness.com/kim-2.0/
Hi everybody!
I am in the homestretch on the book-writing project! The deadline is tomorrow and I have only four chapters left to write. Time to really focus! (That training as a litigator comes in handy at times.)
Kim's January Update (Before I Go Into Hiding)
Hi folks,
For those I haven't already greeted this year: Happy New Year! (At what point do we stop saying that? Is it the middle of January? The end?)
As you might imagine, I'm busy with a lot of activities for 2015. You're not going to read much about those, yet. Mainly, I'm working on my book. (Tentative title) Integrative Law will be published by the American Bar Association later this year. Before that, I need to write it.
Contribute to the book?
Kim's Circumnavigation Continues (Won't you join me next year?)
Would you like to join me in South Africa?
My circumnavigation is going very well. I've spent time with beautiful people and I've seen some amazing places. If you are interested in the itinerary, it is on the home page of www.jkimwright.com. The map is clearly NOT the territory.
Where in the World is Kim? Now coming to a place near you?
Dear Friends,
Kim's 2014 Schedule:
The map in the graphic is my itinerary for the next few weeks!

I post a lot of updates on social media, but I’ve been slack about updating here. I hope you are all following me on Twitter or Facebook. If not, I invite you to do so to keep up to date in more real time.
I’m going to attempt to catch you up and point you in the direction of some upcoming events. For more information, visit the hot links or email me.
Wrapping up 2013 With a Full To-Do List?
HI everybody,
Is your 2013 to-do list done? The year is nearly over and the time to finish all our lists is upon us. I sometimes find myself wishing I had it all done, but I remind myself that the end of year is not relevant to 'real' deadlines and that if I got it all done, I'd just create the next to-do list anyway. Knowing that still doesn't stop me from trying to get it done, but at least I realize it is a game.
The emergence of the Integrative Law Movement
Kim's on a roll with articles this season. In addition to the November cover story of Kosmos Journal, a related article was the first article in the UK Journal for the Association for Management Education and Development, November 30.
Some excerpts are here and the full article is attached below.
Kim Wright's Article is Lead Story in Kosmos Journal
"Kosmos is a journal for the New Civilization, integrating spirit with nature for the global common good. Kosmos Journal publishes the voices of leading edge, visionary thinkers and actors in building the emerging global culture."
I'm proud to say that they published my article in the November issue. Here is a link.

I've managed to write several other pieces while I have been housesitting in San Clemente for a few weeks. Our first teams of Page Editors have started on their topics. I also managed to meet several SoCal lawyers and to visit California Western School of Law while I was in the neighborhood.
I'm off to Silicon Valley on Saturday morning for some important meetings about our future as a movement. I hope to have some good news to share soon.
Eileen Barker is hosting a gathering in San Rafael on Tuesday night, November 5. If you're in the area, let me know and I'll send details.
Then I am aiming the Tardis (my pet name for my blue Honda) toward the East. Lots of stops on the way: Palm Springs, Phoenix, Sedona, Albuquerque, Taos, Dallas, New Orleans. Are you on my route? The Tardis is going to live with my daughter for a few months while I go back to South Africa and Europe. I'm coming back to the US for a program at Omega Institute over July 4 weekend, if not before.
As always, sending love!
Kim
Vote NOW for Innovating Justice Awards
Many of you know that I visited the Hague Institute for Internationalisation of Law (HiiL), while I was in the Netherlands in July. I spent some time with the staff there, informing them of the many innovations of which I was aware. Little did I know, that it would come back to haunt me! There are 93 nominees and I know many of them. I can only vote for one in each category. I'd love to vote for them all. They're really impressive.
